Kyle Monaco Crowned Champ After Big Chop in Event #3: $500 PLO
Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
For the past week, WinStar has been playing host to a series of side event as a part of the 2019 Labor Day River Series. While PokerNews is only offering live updates from the Main Event, we still wanted to give some love to the lucky WinStar winners.
One such event was Event #3: $500 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), a tournament that drew 122 players.
That meant the top 13 players got paid, and of those the top 11 struck a deal that saw them all lock up at least $4,741 while Kyle Monaco was crowned champ for $5,291.
Missing out on the deal but cashing the tournament were Shane Howeth and Ngoc ��Long�� Nguyen, who each won $1,098 for finishing in 12th and 13th place respectively.
